This week’s roundup includes reviews of the Adam D3V monitors, Roland JC-120 plugin, Pulsar Modular’s P821-MDN tape delay, and more — along with news on Behringer drama, streaming fraud, and synth picks for indie bands.
This week’s Sonic Odyssey roundup covers a major Serum 2 review, boutique interfaces, a golden MiniFuse, Dave Mustaine’s Metallica memories, and the question no one asked but we all want answered: can a quantum computer make a banger?
